Chapter 335: Twenty-five This girl is mine now (4K8)_2
Afterward, she whispered into Hewinia’s ear, “So I really do thank you. When I was about to break down, her family allowed her to go to the Seed District, and she finally found another way to vent.”
“Not only did you divert her attention but you also helped me… kill her.”
“So, compared to her, I really would rather have a sister like you!”
Hewinia looked coldly at Daphne. She wanted to do something more, but the bloodlines on her body completely sealed her movements.
Had it not been for the Golden Score’s life force naturally being much stronger than ordinary people, these wounds would have been enough to kill her a hundred times over.
Daphne saw that Hewinia still wanted to resist, and her smile became even more brilliant.
“Really now, you’re still thinking about struggling at a time like this?” Daphne gently patted Hewinia’s face, “It’s impossible, you know. My preparations tonight were thorough. The methods I am using against you now were originally prepared for that foolish woman. Although she is only of Silver Rank, she is, after all, a professor, and needs to be taken seriously.”
“Oh, right. I’ve been talking all this while and forgot to mention why I am here tonight.”
“It’s quite simple, really. The reason that foolish woman knew you were from the Golden Score is because I ‘told’ her.” Daphne said with a smile, “You must have wondered from time to time why I’d come from the second institute to find you, right? Do you think I came just for you? Of course not. Didn’t you notice that I mostly came after that foolish woman’s classes?”
“She is quite talented and very scheming, always wanting to gain more power over women.”
“So, I just needed to casually mention in front of her, ‘Ah, little Hewinia is not the same as before,’ ‘Oh, she has become less cute since starting school,’ ‘Ah, I really miss the not-so-well-behaved little Hewinia from before.’ Naturally, she would then focus her attention on you.” Daphne looked at Hewinia with a smile, “For those who are self-righteous and think they are clever, you just need to subtly point out a path to them, and they will blindly run down that path until death.”
Hewinia saw undisguised mockery in Daphne’s eyes.
“Ah~ Don’t look at me like that, I’m not talking about you.” Daphne said cheerily, “You’ve done very well indeed. Just by yourself, to rise from the Seed District to where you are today, at least you are far more formidable than those two foolish women. If Hewinia had your brains, she wouldn’t have died so casually. Backed by the Hailuo family, a Golden Note, yet she died without leaving a trace, really…”
Daphne clicked her tongue and shook her head, her tone full of regret, but her eyes brimming with mockery.
Hewinia lowered her head.
She had still not given up.
She still had one last chance, that was the one-third of the Secret Poison remaining in her body, which Arianna had not completely extracted.
If only Daphne would absorb directly like Arianna had, then she might have been able to…
“You’re not waiting for that little bit of Secret Poison, are you?” Daphne spoke slowly.
Hewinia’s eyes widened bit by bit.
Daphne extended her hand in front of Hewinia, a flame burning in her palm, in which Hewinia could see her reflection.
“While you were watching me, did you think I wasn’t watching you?” Daphne said with a smile, “It’s just a Third Notes spell. Do you think it’s hard to break? Any family qualified to live in the Upper City has the resources, even the Hailuo family. But you didn’t know, after all, you’ve only lived as a Player for a year.”
At that moment, Daphne’s men dragged Arianna’s body to the front of the two women.
Seeing this, Daphne slowly walked forward, crouched down, and then picked up a stick, gently poking Arianna’s body.
“You and she are of the same kind.” Daphne said with a smile, “Always thinking that by your own power, you can change something.”
“Although I don’t know the reason, you intended to perform the Seven Notes·Divine Song alone.”
“And she, too, wanted to prove herself at the festival, show that she was no less than the Nobles, not even the Taichu family.”
“But what was the outcome? This individual will never know to her dying breath that she was used by me, in her view, she could only see this much. Just like you, you wouldn’t think that I went through all this trouble to have that foolish woman deal with you because you are troublesome, right? No, that’s not it.” Daphne shook her head, “I simply wanted an excuse for you to vanish from the public eye, otherwise, do you really think your identity was so well hidden that no one but me had noticed?”
As she spoke, Daphne lightly tapped her magic wand, and Arianna’s body immediately ignited.
The flames reflected in Hewinia’s eyes, where she saw the Seven Notes Score, which Arianna had seen as her spiritual pillar, burn swiftly to ashes like cheap firewood.
“Alright, it’s time to end all of this.” Daphne slowly stood up and stretched leisurely, “Next comes the finale. Third Institute Professor Arianna killed Golden Rank Seventh Note Hewinia and skinned her. This way everyone will think, perhaps Arianna got the Golden Score, and no one will pay attention to us. After all… I left the institute this morning and went home for the Seven Notes festival.”
